How it works
BodyMedia’s patented technology combines sensors, electronic hardware, and intelligent software
that empowers you to accurately and continuously monitor your lifestyle. The SenseWear Armband
uses sensors to measure physiological factors like motion, heat flow, and skin temperature that are
translated by BodyMedia’s customized algorithms in your InnerView software to help you determine
your personal patterns and behaviors.
Your SenseWear Armband performs functions automatically so that you almost forget you’re
wearing it. Worn on the back of your upper right arm, it turns on and off by itself by simply
maintaining secure contact with your body. It automatically sets the date and time settings by
communicating with your InnerView software. The SenseWear Armband understands any targets
and reminders that you set in your InnerView software and signals you with feedback at the
appropriate times.
BodyMedia converts your body data into meaningful representations of your lifestyle events when
you upload it to your InnerView software. Over time, your SenseWear Armband will continue to
learn about and adapt to your behavior and provide significant information about your lifestyle.
